Abstract

Neuroendocrin tumors are one of the most common tumors of the appendix. It is difficult to differantiate acute appendicitis from appendiceal neuroendocrine tumors. 80% of these tumors are located in tip of the appendix and 95% are measured smaller than 2 cm in diameter. Pigmentation is rare in neuroendocrine carcinomas. Here we report a case of pigmented neuroendocrine tumor which was detected incidentally.

Özet

Nöroendokrin tümörler apendiksin sık görülen tümörleridir. Klinik olarak apendiksin nöroendokrin tümörlerinin akut apendisitten ayırımı mümkün değildir. Tümörlerin %80’i tip yerleşimli ve %95’i 2cm’den küçük çaptadır. Nöroendokrin tümörlerde pigmentasyon oldukça nadirdir. Burada akut appendisit nedenli apendektomi yapılan hastada insidental olarak tanı alan pigmente nöroendokrin tümör olgusu literatür bilgileri eşliğinde sunulmuştur.
